Harvey's soft words and the protective way he held him made the pale scholar feel safe. It was interesting that he had always been the one who had been strong, and now he had someone who knew that sometimes he wasn't as strong as he felt. He made a soft noise of contentment, suspiciously similar to a purr and nuzzled against his mate again. "Love, if you want tea all you gotta do is ask." He sat up, his eyes sparkling with laughter. "Afterall, I'm not the kind of mate that makes you get up and do it yourself. Not after I finally got the chimney cleaned out." He leaned in for a quick kiss and tousled harvey's hair before slipping out of bed, humming happily. The mood of moments before had already been forgotten.
He bounded down the stairs to the great room, where he'd set a fire up the evening before. Using flint and a striking steel, he gently coaxed the fire into being. He set his pot of water near the fire to let it heat up and pranced -yes, pranced- into the kitchen. Still humming softly, he pulled two cups out of his cupboard. It didn't take him long to pull out the ingredients for the teas.
